Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Took the family to The Royal for my wifes birthday treat. Wish we had booked somewhere else. Table booked for 1:30, waited almost an hour for starters, which were OK then had to wait same length of time for the mains, after having to speak...to a member of staff to remind them we were still waiting. One steak was nothing but fat, the other was supposed to be well done but was still pink.The chicken was so tough I think it must have given itself up. Waiting staff were pleasant but them and the kitchen were obviously understaffed. I complained about the wait for the food and was told that was normal, it isn't at other establishments I have been to. Both I and the lady infront of me at the till did receive a discount for the poor service, although as far as my wife was concerned, her day had been spoilt.More

I had a nice dinner at the restaurant sitting next to the pool. I had fish soup as starter and mixed grill as main course. The beef was a little dry. Nice atmosphere and pleasant service.

We had booked a company Christmas party. Lunch was served and while eating I found a piece of plastic wrap. I tried to be as diplomatic as possible and moved away from my colleagues to inform the service. I later wrote a letter to management,...to date I have received no apology. It was almost as though they thought that I might have planted the plastic.More

I was not a guest at the hotel but frequently come by for a breakfast meeting or on a Saturday for breakfast with my wife. I have been coming since at least 2007 and not once have I seen the ceiling area clean above the...tables in the open area restaurant. The food is ok and the service is good but the timing of the food being served could be better. Instead of bringing it all out at once they sometimes just bring out what is done as it's done. Now that I'm aware I try not to look up when I'm eating as the hanging cobwebs on the chandelier and the stained windows make me lose my appetite somewhat. There is also a dark ring around each of the columns that looks like dust that's collected and never been wiped. The low hanging roof could also use a coat of paint. I would like to see the maintenance staff we were informed about showing more pride in their work and make an effort to keep that area clean for the customers.More

It is slightly devoid of atmosphere as there never seems to be more than a couple of people there during several visits. The food is best described as OK, nothing to shout about but equally nothing terrible either, ribs were tender and tasty and everything...turned up hot, a bonus in my experience of Trinny cuisine. also surprisingly quick to arrive too. Staff were helpful, friendly and good humoured although not exactly run of their feet.More
